From 895974f346afc740f1f1efd29a2f95567a930ef9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Dustin C. Hatch" Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2018 20:25:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] rngd: PB to set up rngd The *rng-tools* package provides `rngd`, a userspace process that feeds the Linux entropy pool from additional sources. Notably, it mixes entropy gathered from hardware random number generators, such as the one on the BCM2835 SoC on the Raspberry Pi, and the KVM paravirtual random number generator. The `rngd.yml` playbook installs *rng-tools* and starts the `rngd` service. --- rngd.yml | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) create mode 100644 rngd.yml diff --git a/rngd.yml b/rngd.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d591603 --- /dev/null +++ b/rngd.yml @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +- hosts: all + tasks: + - name: ensure rng-tools is installed + package: + name=rng-tools + state=present + - name: ensure rngd starts at boot + service: + name=rngd + enabled=yes + - name: ensure rngd is running + service: + name=rngd + state=started
